Chapter 5 Who to Wait For

Qin Gan suddenly heard the sound of heavy breathing around him, and even shook his hooves impetuously with the horse.

Definitely more than fifty people!

His heart sank, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

If it weren't for the county lord to speak out in time, I was afraid that with how he couldn't lead a woman to break out of the encirclement safely, even if there were twenty more people, he might not be able to stop it......

I'm afraid these people are crazy!

Before leaving, the prince was going to send a few more guards to accompany him, but Changfeng temporarily came to the secret letter, and there was a Shence army in the dark, so he couldn't draw more manpower for a while, so he had to wait until he arrived in Zhongnan Mansion, and then let the prefect Jiang Du send twenty people to escort him, thinking that this was still in the realm of the palace's shock, so there should be nothing wrong, which is also the reason why Qin Gan agreed to rush at night.

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Xuan spoke up again, "Lingnan is thousands of miles away from Changfeng City, and my father was worried about the inconvenience, so he entrusted Zhengtong Silver to redeem the ticket number and carry it with him. ”

Princess...... What's to be done? Do you give up all your possessions?

Fang Xuan looked at Sandalwood.

"County Lord......" Sandalwood trembled her throat, one hand tightly tugging at the burden on her back.

Fang Xuan couldn't help but laugh when she saw her protecting her wealth like this, touched her hair bun, and said softly: "Be good, obedient." ”

"Oh......" Sandalwood secretly glared at Wang Laojiu and the others, reluctantly took off the burden, and held it in front of Fang Xuan with both hands.

In the end, under Fang Xuan's instructions, everyone in the palace handed over all the treasures without the slightest resistance.

That Tan Kui was suspicious and cautious by nature, and was afraid that there would be fraud or more accidents, so he asked Wang Laojiu and others to tie them up and throw them under the tree to guard them, and the rest of the people went to count the finances and pulled them away in batches.

As Fang Xuan said, most of the carriages were filled with calligraphy, paintings, and literary toys, and the jewelry was only the box I saw before, and there were even fewer gold and silver, and the face value of Zhengtong's ticket number was only about 30,000 taels.

But for them, it is already a huge amount that is rare in this life.

"Second brother, what should I do next?" Wang Laojiu looked greedy, ran over to the bandit and said, "These people ......"

"How many lives do you really have? Naturally, none of them can move, don't worry, even if the palace sends troops, it will have nothing to do with us. ”

Wang Laojiu laughed out loud, "Sure enough, the second brother is decisive, brother, I followed you, what else is there to worry about, hehe." ”

"These things are not easy to sell for the time being, you can hold your hands tightly, first share the silver with the brothers to make do, these two years have been swaggering outside, don't contact me, and when the palace sends troops to level Yuyan Mountain, I will naturally go to you."

"Yes, yes, my brother knows, knows." He had said these words many times, but Wang Laojiu was a little unimpressed, nodded and agreed to a few words when he heard the words, and then went to the carriage and continued to stare at his subordinates carrying treasures with glowing eyes.

————————

"You handed over all the silver tickets, what are we going to use when we go to Changfeng?" Sandalwood pouted, still sullen about what had just happened.

These silver were all specially spent by the princess from the account room for the county lord, and those hateful bandits not only robbed the tribute to the queen mother for her birthday, but also did not let go of the silver that their own county lord bought rouge gouache, which was simply too much!

Fortunately, the county lord had the foresight to let Mama make plans early, otherwise she would not have handed over the silver even if she died!

By the way, the county lord said that this matter cannot be told to anyone, only the county lord, grandma and himself know.

Thinking of this, Sandalwood covered her mouth tightly, and quietly looked around with a pair of apricot eyes, for fear that if she accidentally revealed it, she would be ashamed of her trust in the county lord.

Well! Even if she talks in her sleep, she will keep it a secret!

She was still angry just now, but in an instant her eyes were full of determination, and her round face was full of loyalty, which was really funny.

Fang Xuan shook his head, "Money is something outside the body, if it's gone, it's gone, as long as you are still good, what if the county lord and I go to Changfeng to eat chaff?" What if those people try to rob and hurt you? Sandalwood, Sandalwood, do you know how much this county lord loves you? ”

"How's that going to work!" Sandalwood was suddenly greatly moved, clenched a pair of small fists, and swore solemnly, "County Lord, don't worry, Sandalwood will carry you to the capital even if you carry it!" ”

"The lord of this county knows that you are the most loyal, and he will definitely love you well in the future."

"Ahem, cough ......" Qin Gan, who was nervous on the side, looked at the deceived sandalwood like a little white rabbit, couldn't listen to it anymore, and coughed, "County Lord, what should I do next?" ”

He doesn't care about those things outside his body, although these things are valuable, but they don't hurt the palace at all, he is just worried that these bandits are not satisfied with their property, and they will kill people and destroy their mouths.

However, the county lord has always been wise, and even the prince often praises him, he thinks that the county lord must have thought of a plan before he planned like this.

Fang Xuan shrugged, moved his numb arms, and said lightly, "Wait." ”

Wait?

Waiting for whom?

Could it be that the county lord sent someone to Zhongnan Mansion to ask for help, so he deliberately delayed time?

Qin Gan's eyes swept around, but he was immediately disappointed when he saw that the servant girl Wen Xia that the prince had specially sent to the county lord before leaving was still there.

Unlike the guards, the palace has specially trained a group of subordinates, all of whom are loyal dead soldiers, who have received various trainings since childhood, and Qin Gan has only heard that these people do everything to spy and assassinate, and they are the real hole cards of the palace.

Since he entered the palace, he has been responsible for protecting the safety of the county lord, so although he does not know the specific situation, he will also pay more attention to the people who suddenly appear around the county lord, and after a few days of observation, Qin Gan knows that Wen Xia is definitely different from Sandalwood.

Since she is still here, what is the county lord waiting for?

————————

"Your Excellency."

After Liu Ting left, the banquet was also dispersed, Xiao Cheng turned around and went up to the second-floor room, there were already people waiting in it, and when he saw him coming, he said respectfully.

Xiao Cheng nodded, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes." The man said, "The secret letter is from the capital, and it should be related to the illness of the saint......

Xiao Cheng waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to say anything more about this matter, and the man continued: "Jiang Du really doesn't know what King Qing is plotting, he only knows that he secretly sent people to contact King Gui's Mansion frequently, but there has been no large-scale change in personnel and property, which should be regarded as no objection for the time being, but King Qing has been operating in Lingnan for many years, like an iron plate, I am afraid that when the time comes, the situation will take a sharp turn, and it is necessary to focus on guarding." ”

"In addition, Yuyan Mountain has already sent someone to contact it, according to the secret report, Yan Huai himself does not seem to have any intention of returning to the country, and he has never heard of the treasure hidden in the previous dynasty, but he is quite tempted by the conditions you proposed, but it is ...... The situation in Yuyan Mountain is a bit complicated, and he is not sure that he will be able to convince everyone. ”

"Then you don't have to convince." Xiao Cheng's tone was as indifferent as idle talk, "The matter of the Qingwang Mansion will be reported with the secret letter of the Shence Army. ”

"My subordinates understood."

He was about to retreat, but after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again, "Nei Ying also mentioned one thing, the one named Tan Kui seems to be a little restless, some people see that he and Wang Laojiu and his group seem to be discussing something, Shen Shichu took a lot of people down the mountain, Yan Huai didn't know about it." Do you want to check it out? ”

"Oh?" Xiao Cheng pondered for a moment and chuckled, "No need to check." Hasn't that Duanning County Lord not yet arrived in Zhongnan Mansion? ”

The man was startled, and he understood what he meant, "You mean...... Subordinates retire! ”

"No, I'll go myself."

He wanted to see what Fang Jin's plan was to send a little girl to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday when she said she was ill.
